"Everything's Jake" (2000)
A unique take on homelessness and a solid performance by Ernie Hudson.
Netflix synopsis: Although he's homeless in New York, the remarkably well-centered Jake (Hudson) finds peace in his daily routine, a routine that's disrupted when he discovers a newly destitute man (Graeme Malcolm) in distress. Taking an interest in the stranger, Jake befriends him and shares his survival techniques.
A film festival favorite directed by up-and-comer Matthew Miele, this gently comic drama co-stars Debbie Allen, Robin Givens and Lou Rawls.
Cameo by Phylis Diller
Hot dog relevance: Rawls runs a weenie stand and sings his weenie jingle approximately a third of the way into the movie.

ABOUT THE FRANKFURTER CHRONICLES:
The Official Organ of The Hot Dog Hall Of Fame
The Frankfurter Chronicles (The Newsletter with Relish) was established in late 1995, shortly after we got our first PC.
At first, TFC was printed (xeroxed, actually) and mailed to less than 200 people around the country. After a while, it became too cost prohibitive and time consuming (we had approximately 500 readers by then), so we went online only (WeenieGrams, etc), losing more than half of our older, non-computing readers.
That equates to just over 100 issues of TFC and approximately 300 WeenieGrams in slightly less than 15 years; who'd have ever guessed you could write about hot dogs for all that time?
The email version was by invitation only but now, due to a variety of factors, we're moving to Blog World. Please join us as we continue to explore The Wonderful World of Wieners...
